Scott said, before taking a sip of coffee. Their gazes connected, but only for a moment. Hopefully, he’d realized their kiss last night was a mistake. Just as she’d known it was. Today, she planned to ask him to take her to town to find a motel room. Temptation was too strong for the two of them to live together in close proximity.“Morning.” She greeted all of them with a smile.“Morning, Beth,” echoed Carmen and Cody.She meandered past Scott on her way to the coffee pot. Having tossed and turned most of the night, she wondered if he’d slept any better. He didn’t look worse for the wear, which probably meant he’d slept after realizing there was no future for them, so there was no point in growing closer. In fact, the early morning hours looked good on him. His blue eyes sparkled, his cheeks were rough and unshaven, and the scent of a combination of soap, cologne, and pure masculinity went straight to her head as she drank him in.She’d left her hair down and dressed in jeans and a snug plaid western shirt; clothes that felt second nature to her already.
